Woah can these days fly any faster. There are just not enough hours in a day to work, sleep and play as much as I would like to.

I am taking a blogging break for the next two weeks as I am in the process of moving my web hosts as well as having one of my friends help re-design my website. She’s currently studying and now using my blog as a practice page and who am I to say no to some professional help, for free I might add.

I am also going to be doing a short makeup course just to learn the basics of hygiene and colour theory and a whole lot of other things you don’t learn from Youtube tutorials, so I’ll be investing a lot of my time on that over the next couple of weeks as well as going on a short getaway with the family this weekend 🙂

I’ll still be active on social media so I won’t be completely MIA in the process of it all.

Have an awesome week and I’m sort of glad time flies because I have some great posts planned upon my return.

Those are just some of the reactions I had when I saw this blush along with elatement, excitement and ecstasy. As you all know by now, patterned blushes are my weakness and this blush is one of the most beautiful by far.

Housed in a gorgeous mercury clutch, the carving of roses awaits inside. The By Terry Terrybly Rose de Rose Trio Powder Blush is truly a sight for sore eyes. The powder itself smells delicately of a bouquet of roses. There are three different shades of pink matte and shimmer to give your skin a rosy flush whilst adding a faint shimmer for highlight. The formula is packed with photo-luminescent polymers so it looks like the skin is lit from within. It also contains light reflective correctors that melt into the skin while adjusting and toning either up or down to achieve a perfect flush and long-lasting flawless finish.

The luxe compact is said to be quite heavy but it resounds its relative price. The blush is priced at a steep $115 on the Space.NK online store which roughly equates to just over R1400. This is a limited edition item that is part of the Rose Infernale collection. Now while I can never justify spending that much on an individual blush, I can still add it on to my wishlist for the day I win the lottery or a friend decides to surprise me for my birthday 40 years from now 🙂

I have some great news and not so good news. The great news is that I finally managed to buy myself another camera yesterday 🙂 but on the flipside it is the first DSLR camera I have ever owned so I want to first learn how to use it before I take pictures with it. All these pictures were taken with my phone when I received the products so I apologise if they don’t appear so clear.

Instead of doing individual posts on my 27Pinkx items, I thought it would be better to group them all together as they hold the name of the brand, not like the Makeup Eraser and Makeup Bullet which they sell as well. My first order was sometime mid October last year. I purchased their makeup brush set as well as the brush holder. My order arrived within 2 days and they offer free shipping within SA (Yay).

Wow now that’s a long name for a product. Physician’s Formula have ‘shimmer strips’ in a lot of their product names so I guess they’ve had to explain each product in detail to differentiate. For all my South African followers 🙂 I bring to you a product on my wishlist that is actually on sale in most Dischem stores nationwide. To be honest, I was somewhat feeling a bit guilty featuring unattainable products, not only for my readers sake, but because they are not readily available, I miss out on purchasing it too.

*Typing feverously with tears brimming in my eyes* Yes, yes everything is all right. I’m just being Mrs Melodramatic right now. You see, I had planned to put up my contour post today, but I accidentally broke my camera this morning when I was taking pics so I ended up taking the contour pics with my phone and they look horrible. I’m not happy posting mediocre stuff on my blog so I’ll hopefully be posting it sometime next week.

Today is on to the lip products I purchased from my Kosmetik4less Haul which you can read about here. I somewhat regretting doing this on its own because the Essence Aquatix Lip Gloss is clear and the Essence Glossy Lipbalms don’t show up that well on my camera. Nevertheless, what’s done is done, so on we go.

I placed an order for the following products online in August last year, and due to the backlog at the post office, I only received my items in December. I’ve been using a few of the products but I thought I’d do this blog post for those of you who want to see what I picked up and also the prices of items and customs for the size of the order I placed. Because this post is going to be an image overload, I will do individual posts on certain items that contain swatches as well.
